Power bi dashboard

When I make a power bi dashboard for the pre built app in my office So that App is used AD password for the UserID since when I make the relationship between the tables I used from the database to power bi, should have to get that AD password as the primary key between the tables in power query modeling since I cannot make proper relationship between tables in power bi Why is that

  • Hi APWS ,

     

    You don’t need to use AD passwords as keys for relationships in Power BI, as passwords are sensitive and not meant for linking tables. Instead, please use a stable user identifier like UserID, UserPrincipalName (email), or EmployeeID that exists in both tables.

    Since your measure already works in a table, you’re almost there. To get it working in a pie chart, you just need to reshape the logic a bit so that the chart can group by "On Time" vs "Not On Time" status.

    Here’s a clean way to do it:

    1. Create a new measure that returns status per house:

    HouseStatus =
    VAR AllPartsOnTime =
        CALCULATE(
            COUNTROWS(HouseParts),
            HouseParts[PlannedDate] <> HouseParts[RealDate]
        ) = 0
    RETURN
        IF(AllPartsOnTime, "On Time", "Not On Time")

    2. Create a summary table (optional but helps):

    HouseSummary =
    SUMMARIZE(
        HouseParts,
        HouseParts[House],
        "Status", [HouseStatus]
    )

    3. Use this in your pie chart:

    • Legend: Status
    • Values: DISTINCTCOUNT(HouseParts[House]) or just House if you're using the summary table

    This will give you a pie chart showing how many houses are fully on time vs not, based on your current date filter.

    Also make sure your date slicer is filtering the data correctly so the measure reflects the right time window.
